原标题：德国自救：拟为能源企业提供670亿欧元贷款担保 争取今年内实行电价上限不止是整个欧盟，欧洲最大经济体德国自身也在设法为摆脱能源危机自救。 Sydney, Oct 17 (UNI) Australian gambling giant Star Entertainment Group has been fined $62 million for failing to stop money laundering at its Sydney casino.
The group's licence to operate the casino has also been suspended. The record penalties were announced in response to a damning inquiry in New South Wales (NSW) earlier this year, the BBC said.
The fine announced on Monday is the maximum allowed, but the regulator stopped short of removing Star's licence altogether, to protect thousands of jobs. Under the conditions of the suspension, the casino will still operate under a manager appointed by the regulator.
From Friday the Star will not be able to run the casino on its own until it can "earn" its licence back, NSW Independent Casino Commission chief Philip Crawford said.
The inquiry earlier this year led to the resignations of Star's former chief executive Matt Bekier.
Its final report, handed down last month, found the Star was not fit to hold a casino licence in NSW.
Casino operators in Australia have been under great pressure to reform their gambling operations following reports of widespread criminal activity.
A public inquiry earlier this year heard the Star had allowed money laundering and organised crime to infiltrate their Sydney casino, taking a "cavalier" approach to governance and at times making deliberate steps to cover its tracks.
In response to the report, the Star Entertainment Group said it had taken "significant and urgent remedial steps" and would do "whatever necessary" to restore its suitability to run the casino.
The Star entered a trading halt on Monday morning, which is set to last until Wednesday.
After a similar inquiry in Queensland, The Star was earlier this month also found unsuitable to run its three casinos in that state.
Media investigations have aired allegations of misconduct at various casinos around Australia in recent years, including at those owned by the country's largest gaming and entertainment group - Crown Resorts.
UNI ING。当地时间13日周二，媒体援引知情人士消息称，德国政府料将在本周三的例行内阁会议上批准一项计划，它旨在帮助因俄罗斯切断供应而被迫负担更高成本的能源企业。知情者还称，根据该计划，德国政府将利用一只基金，给陷入困境的能源公司也提供贷款担保，该基金本是为帮助因疫情遭受经济打击的企业而设立。
B | 德国的国家开发银行KfW将监督这一帮助能源企业的该机制，该基金可用的贷款担保额约为 670 亿欧元（约合679 亿美元）。同在周二，德国总理朔尔茨公开表示，德国将迅速实施电价上限。政府“正以极快的速度推动这项工作，这样我们就可以减轻消费者和企业在电价方面的负担。
C | ”政府还在研究降低取暖费用和天然气价格的方式。
D | 德国经济部长兼副总理哈贝克在和朔尔茨出席同一活动时表示，本届政府的目标是，在今年底以前，让推行电价上限成为立法。朔尔茨还在讲话中安抚德国工业企业，称政府将竭尽所能解决一切流动性问题。政府已经扩大并延长了对最受影响企业的保护范围，采取措施包括低息的KfW贷款、担保计划，以及帮助能源密集型企业。也是在周二，德国研究机构欧洲研究中心（ZEW）公布的9月ZEW经济景气指数从8月的-55.3进一步降至-61.9，创2008年10月以来新低。这一体现投资者对德国经济信心的指标比经济学家预期的-59.5还低，体现了高通胀、高取暖和能源成本对信心的打击。欧盟酝酿能源干预方案 拟对低成本电价设定180欧元上限 整体用电量减少10% 媒体指出，今年4月，德国出台了一项金融救助方案，部分用于帮助抵押品要求过高的能源企业，上述贷款担保计划并不属于该方案范畴。
E | 是德国政府新增的扶持手段。上周能源巨头挪威国家石油公司（Equinor）估算，欧洲的能源交易面临至少1.5万亿美元保证金要求，凸显能源危机下能源交易极度紧张、企业越来越无力承担日益增加的保证金要求。欧盟正在研究采取紧急行动给予相关支持。
F | 华尔街见闻本周一提到，媒体称，欧盟本周将提出的能源干预的重磅方案，内容包括设定削减电力需求的目标、对能源企业征临时的超额利润税、对通过天然气以外能源发电的企业设超额收入上限，有争议的限制进口俄罗斯天然气价格问题推迟再议。缓和能源市场因追缴保证金而流动性紧张的问题上周得到了欧盟内部的普遍支持，现在这个问题已经单独研究，不再混入方案内讨论。
G | 本周二又有媒体称，欧盟委员会在考虑将可再生能源和核能公司的发电收入上限设定在180欧元/每兆瓦时，还计划提议对石油、天然气、煤炭和精炼行业企业的超额利润征收至少33%的暂时性税费。
H | 在用电量方面，媒体称，欧盟委员会目前计划将整体用电量减少10%，同时设定在特定高峰时段将需求降低5%的强制性目标。最终数字需得到欧盟委员会的批准，然后需要各国政府批准。委员会还就能源交易抵押品事宜与银行业监管机构进行磋商，力图限制能源市场过度波动。华尔街见闻文章指出，相比此前泄露的草案金额，最新的非天然气发电收入上限有所下降，总用电削减目标则基本一致。返回搜狐，查看更多责任编辑：
